For those of you who still live at home. How do you convince parents that tattoos aren't bad? My mom thinks that tattoos are only for delinquents.
Just walk in with the tat.. You are not gonna convince some people and that's just that.

Well if she thinks you will become a delinquent if you get one, tell her she's wrong.

You can always wait till you move out. I got my first tat at 28. I actually preferred to get it later. Most guys I know that got tatted back in high school or college all did cover ups or they look horrible.

I'm just afraid it'll go viral and when the internet detectives try to find the source it'll lead to this thread. I've broken the first rule of nt . I told a close friend of mine about nt , this friend is close friends with the dude who got the ****** tattoo.

I've gotten traditional work done by a Filipino tattoo artist and that's really all he does. It doesn't matter.

Oh shoot, I didn't even know it was that accurate. That's pretty scary that image search is that on point.

These aren't unique images either. Google image could have have sent me to any site with the same pic, yet they didnt.

Yeah, i've searched stuff and the images will say it was posted on nt.

I think Moe was more concerned about the actual tattoo, not who was tattin' it. Either way though, it may matter to the individual who is getting inked up (whether we think that's right or wrong is another subject). I understand that there are some people who prefer to only have tattoos on themselves that are from their ethnic history.
Heck - my traditional Filipino work was created by a Filipino, outlined by a Hawaiian, and finished by a Black dude.

spot on in regards to how i feel about tattoos. tattoos are obviously a matter of personal preference. i appreciate the style and designs of traditional american work, but it's not something i can connect with in terms of what it represents, therefore don't feel like i could put it on myself. again, i speak for myself and don't mean to sound as if I'm judging anyone's choices.
not everyone has to feel a "connection" to what they put on themselves, completely respect that. hell, i asked my last artist what a landscape tattoo he had meant to him and he just said "honestly, i just thought it was cool, but it doesn't mean **** to me"

Yeah. I don't care about meaning. I just want to get tattooed by as many good people as I can. Everyone is different.

Half my tattoos dont mean **** to me, but I love the art and always have. Thats good enough reason right there.

Actually it is. Are you into the culture or heavily tattooed? If not then you woudnt understand, nor is it worth it to explain why.

How difficult would this be to get on my upper arm? I have no tattoos and would want to get it done by a very good artist.

Upper arm wont have the same effect since it woudnt be wide enough. Some pictures dont translate well into tattoos, thats IMO is one of them. It will be a bunch of silhouettes that wont have a strong image.

Thanks for the reply. What about only the silhouette of the man and the birds with the birds sort of wrapping around my arm?
